Holds fabric steady
Vacuum draws the garment towards the board, helping layers stay positioned while seams, hems and garment sections are pressed.
Battistella Eolo Maxi | Heated surface + 73W vacuum
Press flatter. Dry faster. Finish crisper.
Turn pressing into a cleaner, more controlled part of your sewing workflow. The Eolo Maxi combines a heated 121 × 44cm worktop with a powerful foot-controlled vacuum that holds fabric in place and draws away excess steam and moisture as you iron.
- 73W Maxi vacuum motor gives noticeably stronger extraction than the standard Eolo.
- 200W heated worktop helps keep the pressing surface warm and encourages moisture to clear.
- Foot-pedal vacuum control lets you activate suction exactly when it is useful.
- Adjustable working height supports a more comfortable pressing position.
- Foldable 20kg construction offers professional stability without demanding a permanent table.

Your iron supplies the heat. Eolo Maxi manages the garment.
Clears lingering moisture
Extraction pulls excess steam and humidity through the worktop instead of leaving the fabric and cover damp.
Sets a cleaner finish
Continue the vacuum briefly after steaming to help cool and dry the pressed area for a flatter, crisper result.
Maxi extraction
More vacuum power for a confident pressing rhythm
The Eolo Maxi's 73W vacuum motor is nearly three times the power of the standard Eolo's 25W motor. Combined with the heated surface, it creates a productive upgrade for sewing rooms that press frequently or use generous steam.

Battistella Eolo Maxi FAQs
What does a vacuum ironing board do?
It draws the garment towards the worktop and pulls excess steam and moisture through the cover. This helps keep fabric steady, reduces lingering dampness and supports a flatter finish.
Does the Eolo Maxi include an iron or boiler?
No. This listing is for the heated vacuum board. Use it with a suitable separate iron or steam generator.
How is the vacuum controlled?
A foot pedal activates the vacuum when you need it, leaving both hands available to guide the garment and iron.
Why keep the vacuum running after the steam burst?
A brief extra moment of extraction helps draw remaining humidity from the fabric so the pressed area can dry and set.
Does the Eolo Maxi blow air as well?
No. The Eolo Maxi provides heating and vacuum extraction. It does not have a blowing or air-cushion function.
What makes the Maxi different from the standard Eolo?
The key difference is vacuum strength: the Eolo Maxi uses a 73W vacuum motor, compared with 25W on the standard Eolo.
Does it include the sleeve arm?
No. The standard Eolo Maxi does not include the sleeve arm. Choose the Eolo Maxi Plus if you want that accessory supplied with the board.
Can the board be folded away?
Yes. Once switched off, unplugged and completely cool, it folds to approximately 152 × 44 × 23cm for storage.
Is the working height adjustable?
Yes. Open the board on a stable, level surface and set it to a comfortable height before switching it on.
Heat underneath. Vacuum on demand. Better pressing above.
Give every garment a cleaner finish.
Upgrade from a passive board to a stable pressing surface that helps hold fabric, manage steam and dry each section as you work.
